“When our backs are on the wall, that's the time when we enjoy having fun, relax out there, do our thing, don't get the pressure on, see the results, day by day, game by game.”

“I'm going to prove to the fans, going to prove to my teammates, that I can be a better defensive player, offensive player, to win games.”

“My career had fallen into an abyss because I was so complacent with things that I had already accomplished. I did not work hard in order to achieve more and to remain at the level of the player that I am and that I can be.”

“It is not about money. It is about how you treat the player.”

“We live surrounded by critics, so let them talk, let them criticize me as much as they want. Ultimately, that makes me a better player.”

“People want to help me. They want the best for me. I always say thank you to people when they try that. I never get mad.”

“When I left the Giants in 2014, my comments were emotional, insensitive, and misguided, and I truly regret and apologize for my actions. I am committed to working hard to contributing to the success of the Giants.”

“If you don't have good people around you, it's going to be the worst thing for you.”

“I did not work hard in order to achieve more and to remain at the level of the player that I am and that I can be.”

“You're human; you make mistakes. You have to put all the things in the past.”

“It was one of those things that I set forth as a goal after my surgery. I have been working very hard with the trainers and the team personnel.”

“It has not been easy to wake up every single day at 6:30 in the morning to then head to the gym and start a full day of work. But you have to have that kind of dedication if you want to achieve the goals you have set for yourself.”

“I just prepare myself to perform well, to support my teammates to play well, to try to get to the final, to the World Series.”

“You need to learn. You need to grow up. You need to step up and know the difference between what you can do and what you can't.”

“I'm happy. I learned. I learned from my mistakes. But when you learn, you see all the results; you look more mature, and you put all the pieces together.”

“Things happen for a reason. I'm happy, but not I'm not satisfied with the things I'm doing.”
